The parade was the most successful OF
modern tunes. There could hardly be i'm
ngtnod anything more inspiring than tho
sight OF thirty thousand uniformed militia
men, each regiment headed by band OF
music. Each company turned '.facc
about" as II reached the Presidents stand
and salutcd, amidst The cheers Of countless
tnbubhhuS. AAhOAE NHt iOEiAutlNo htoNAN-
lug OF more than passing notice were tho
Governors Foot Guards, Of Hartford, who
were unanimously pronounced TO be tho
most handsomely uniformed set OF men in
tho parade; tho First Regiment, Of Massa-
ehusGt;s; the Gate City Guards, OF Attain
In, with Governor Gordon at their head;
the Baltimore Light Infantry and the Bal
timore Rifies (colorcd) I; the Butler Guards,
Of South Curoina, and the Virginia troops.
These were all heartily applaudod, and
their splendid appearance universally COM
mented upon. Tho New York State militia
marched with columns OF men on each side
OF their band OF nearly one hundred pieces,
forming a pretty spectacle, Giimore's
band, leading the Twenty-second regiment,
ontshoue all tho other musical features OF
the parade, and Pat Gilmore himself was
the recipient OF many compliments. As
between the different New York regiments
disintercsted observer would find 1t diiii-
cult 70 pass an opinion as to which oxcelled.
Brookiyn's crack regiment, the Twenty
third, marched thirty-four abreast, pro-
ducing novel effect. The Albany jack
son Corps received a graceful bow OF rec
ognition from the President.
Governor Foraker, at tho head OF tho
head uncovered for u long time in order to
acknowledge the vociferous cheers OF his
numerous friends. The Fourteenth carried
with them the battle-scarred flags, relics OF
tho late unpleasantness. Governor LARA
bee, OF Iowa, at the head OF the Governors
Foot Guard, bowed TO the President and Mrs.
Cleveland as he rode by the stand Directly
behind them came the colored troops from
Washington, who were heartily greeted.
The rear OF the parade was brought up by
the Grand Army of the Republic, and as
each company passed in front Of the stand
its commander gave salute, which was
gracefully recognized by tho President
The appearance Of the veterans, some on
crutches, and oil bearing on their visages
the unerripg mark OF time, seemed TO
arouse sentiment among the spectators
which the preceding youthful looking
militia failed TO produce, The Veterans had
seen service while their predecessors intho
line OF march wanted to see it, During tho
time .he Grand Army was passing tho
President remained standing with his head
uncovered.
Tho order issued by Department Com
mandcr of the G. A. II. that only Post COM
mandcrs should salute, was not strictly ad-
hcred TO. Instead of walking, facing,
head covered, as ordered, many Of tho
rank and file passed the stand with uncov-
cred heads, and when Garfield Post No 1,
of Newark, came up, the front ranks
turned 'face about and sentupa rousing
cheer for the President, which he grace
fully acknowledged. The cheer was taken
up by the crowd and carried to the echo
II was 2:45 O'clock when the last of the
parade passed the stand, the Presidential
party descended and walked TO the La
fayette Hotel, half square distant. They
walked between double columns of the
City Troop drawn up us an escort. There
was continual round OF cheering as they
walked along, TO which the President re-
sponGed by removing his hat.
As near as could be judged from tho
stand, the following is about the numhero OF
men participating in the parade; United
States troops, 500; Delaware, one full regi-
mcnt; Pennsylvania, $500; New Jersey,

fayctte Hotel and were driven to the Belle
vue Hotel, where, by previous enga cement,
